Laser Cut Spirograph Set
Posted by Laser Tech on
Remember Spirograph? The fun, oddly satisfying, geometric drawing set you or a friend may have had growing up. I didn't have one as a kid, but I always wanted one. I thought summer would be a great opportunity to tap into my inner kid and make a set. When you figure out the vectors, you can have us cut this in a single 6"x 12" unit in clear acrylic for $30 or try a cool neon transparent acrylic like the transparent neon green that I used for this project. I'm not including a downloadable .PDF, because we don't like...

This is an easy introduction to making leather goods. We carry 1/16" vegetable tanned leather and we will use it for this project. We carry size 6" x 12" up to 24" x 24" leather scraps.

DIY Cord Wrapper
Posted by Laser Tech on
We live in a wireless world, but until they make a wireless toaster, we're still going to be stuck with a few cords here and there. We tend to design projects on a completely selfish basis. I desperately needed a cord wrapper for my headphones to prevent the cord from splitting.You can fully customize these cord wrappers to your liking. We suggest etching your company's name or logo or you can personalize each cord wrapper with the recipients' name, nickname or initials and give them away as gifts. You can even add an original drawing.The possibilities are endless. Go to...

DIY Business Card or Punch Card Holder
Posted by Laser Tech on
Do you have business cards or business punch cards that need a home so they don't get bent or lost? You only have three more punches to go before you get that free latte.Here's a DIY project for you. We made this business card holder from 1/8" Baltic birch. This project uses about 12" x 2.5" of material for one business card holder. A square foot can fit 5 sets of business card holders or if you just want one holder, you can add other designs that will fit the remaining square foot with a .2" margin. Let's get started!Step 1:...

Custom Designed & Laser Cut Herb Garden Stakes
Posted by Laser Tech on
New to designing vectors for laser cutting? This is a great starter project to get the hang of vector design. Design your own custom wood herb stakes for your herb garden, flower bed, yard or anywhere else you could use a stake to remember which species is growing where. You can use the same base for the herb garden stakes, choose your favorite font (remember to convert to curves or outlines!) and add a vectorized image if you like. Pretty simple and useful project. The herb garden stakes you see in this post were laser cut from 1/8" Baltic birch...
